.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ax25ipd [options]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.B ax25ipd
is an RFC1226 compliant daemon capable of providing the encapsualtion
neccessary to send and receive AX.25 traffic across an IP transport.
.LP
Normally invoked as part of the boot order network initialisation,
.B ax25ipd
is capable of talking directly to a serial port connected tnc, or over
a pipe to a linux AX.25 port. KAM DE Dual Port Kiss is also supported.
.LP
.B ax25ipd
can be run as a pure encapsulator, or as a digital repeater with a
functional callsign. Destination IP addresses are determined from a
hardcoded map of callsign/IP Address pairs.
.LP
.B ax25ipd
defaults to using
.B /etc/ax25/ax25ipd.conf
as its config file.

Logging needs to be properly implemented.
.LP
Command line parsing needs to be properly implemented.
.LP
.B ax25ipd
